Detailed Description

The FaceMakerSimple class: make plane faces from all closed wires supplied, ignoring overlaps.

Strengths: can work with non-coplanar sets of wires. Will not make broken faces if wires overlap*.

Limitations: can't make faces with holes (will generate overlapping faces instead). Can't make faces from nonplanar wires.

Compound of valid but overlapping faces is created. The compound is invalid for BOPs, but the faces themselves are valid, provided that the source wires are valid.

◆ Build_Essence()

void Part::FaceMakerSimple::Build_Essence ( )

overrideprotectedvirtual

Build_Essence: build routine that can assume there is no nesting.

Implementing instructions: Add new faces (or whatever) to myShapesToReturn. The rest is done by base class's Build(). Please ignore contents of myCompounds in implementation. If special handling of nesting is required, override whole Build().

Implements Part::FaceMaker.
